In Williamsburg, Brooklyn where the streets are plagued with amateur “street art” and everybody has their own stencil, it’s nice to see a decent mural op up once in a while. This large hand with nicely painted nails was done by local artists, Ben Wolf and Heidi Tullman, and can be seen between the intersections of Wythe and Berry on South 6th. Follow the finger!

Monica Canilao has returned to the Detroit neighborhood where Juxtapoz teamed with Power House Productions to reimagine and develop a neighborhood through the art community. As you may remember, this past Fall we invited Monica, Swoon, Retna, Richard Colman, Saelee Oh, and Ben Wolf to Detroit to start the program.

Remember Ben Wolf from our Juxtapoz in Detroit Project? We thought to bring you a post dedicated solely to the sculptures and installations of Ben Wolf not created in Detroit. Wolf's work is extremely rich in content, style and scale. Wolf's Dormer House which he created in Detroit is only the tip of the iceberg. See more of Wolf's epic work after the jump…

One of the artists we feel is making a great impact on the international art scene is Spanish artist Escif, and we present his work as the cover of our February 2011 Newsstand and Subscriber issues. The February issue also features a 26-page photo essay by Tod Seelie of the Juxtapoz 15th Anniversary Project that happened in Detroit this past October 2010. Full cover after the jump. . .

This past Fall, as we have documented in full, we saw 6 artists off to Detroit to work with Powerhouse Productions as part of our 15th Anniversary Benefit and Auction project. Swoon, Ben Wolf, Monica Canilao, RETNA, Richard Colman, and Saelee Oh all created unique pieces of art in the neighborhood where the money we raised was able to buy property. The local Detroit Free Press just highlighted the project in an extensive article. More information after the jump . . .

Cover artist and participating Detroit artist RETNA has a new video on LA Forward that shows him giving a tour of his mural in downtown LA that he painted with Mac based on a photograph by Estevan Oriol. What was supposed to be informative turns a tad confrontational as a man near the mural starting shouting at the film crew and Retna. Watch after the jump . . .

Swoon, who just traveled with Juxtapoz to Detroit this past Fall, is releasing a new Haiti print this Wednesday, December 15th. Swoon just released a preview of the print, and the proceeds from the print will go to Swoon's "Konbit Shelter" project in Haiti which funds the construction of sustainable adobe style buildings for Haitian residents who have been displaced by the earthquake earlier this year.

This is it. We are leaving. Miami, see you next year. Well, you never know, Jason Jaworski, our correspondent in Miami may find some more pictures on his Basel camera, but we may just be saying goodbye now. Jason made some last minute stops at NADA and found a Barbara Kruger Chess Set. More pictures after the jump . . .
